I'm a minister and a sexologist. Yes, those words do go together! I am also the executive director of the Religious Institute (www.religiousinstitute.org), a multifaith organization dedicated to sexual health and justice. I hope you'll join me in exploring the connection between sexuality, religion and spirituality, and the need for sexual justice in our faith communities and society.

Thanksgiving Prayer

A friend emailed me this prayer today. I liked it so much that I thought I'd pass it on to you. She thinks it's from Human Rights Watch, but if you know the author, let us know. I am grateful to all of you who are part of our ministry."God of Wonder, Giver of Life. . . energize us so that our faith may give us the vision and the mission; that Our love may be grounded in the miracle of your love. Sustain us in the pain of our losses, disappointments, and feelings of inadequacy in the face of overwhelming need. Please be with us as we continue our walk into the future with open hearts and minds So that we will discover new possibilities through a new network of support to bolster our good intentions. Let us go forth into our homes, our communities, and our world in Thanksgiving, gentleness, peace and joy."Blessings to you and your's on this Thanksgiving.
